Occoquan to host boat parade on May 16

On May 16, Occoquan will be hosting a ‘Sail Occoquan’ board parade.

From 9:50 a.m. to 4 p.m. there will be 10 to 12 boats led by a fire boat, parading along the Occoquan River, according to a release. 

Residents will be able to view the parade from the Occoquan Town Boardwalk, located behind Madigan’s Waterfront Restaurant, down to Mamie Davis Park.

The Occoquan River Maritime Assocation is sponsoring the parade.

During the event, residents will be able to search for eight marine flags in town, and be entered into a drawing to win four round trip tickets for a Miss Rivershore cruise, according to a release.

Miss Rivershore cruises will be running until 4 p.m. that day, for residents that want to get on the water themselves.
